About Rachel

Rachel Morell is an art director, photographer, and screenprinter based in Newberg, Oregon. Her whimsical and colorful styling, along with her sense of delight has transformed Fawn & Feather into a recognizable photo booth brand.

Her journey has included teaching, military school, flower shops, math, Mexico, and art school. She enjoys a good ol' spin on the bike to the DQ in the summer and straps on a pair of snow shoes in the winter. Sometimes she just sits on the couch. With her hilarious and kind husband beside her, they are changing the world one day at a time.

Roald Dahl wrote James and the Giant Peach, The BFG, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and several other children’s books that have captivated my imagination. As a kid, I could just imagine what it would’ve been like to fly through the sky on an enormous peach tied to hundreds of seagulls. And I loved the idea that just perhaps I might have the golden ticket in my Snickers bar. I don’t remember reading Fantastic Mr. Fox as a child, but when you combine Wes Anderson’s version of this story with my friend Jordan, who is a sneaky, red-headed fox…

Jordan is a swirl of life who has loved, inspired, and supported many friends in the midst of a challenging time in his life. He wanted to spend an extremely special day with the people in these images and behind these images. It was a wonderful day that has left us all with some truly hilarious memories and beautiful images captured by Heather Espana. We all hope that you enjoy our version of Fantastic Mr. Fox. And Jordan…you are a light in my life. Thanks for always believing in me and helping me to pursue my creative dreams.

Jessica Zigenis-These are enchanting. I’m swooning over here! And what a delightful coincidence that I posted my wes anderson b-day party pics today at my blog (where I came as mrs. fox from fantastic mr. fox!). So much fox lovin’ going on today. I dig it!

By now, you should all know that I’m a huge fan of woodland creatures. Imagine my DELIGHT when Amy from The Bella Casa Group contacted me in November about dreaming up some woodland ideas for 4 tiny cousins. As a result, we’ve been talking for months about tiny hats and tails, tiny plaid shirts, and tiny personalities. You can see my inspiration board on Pinterest here. Bloomin’ Hattie’s crocheted the most darling bear, deer, and fox bits while Good Karma Crochet gave us a perfect skunk hat and tail. And remember Tim Johnson? He made that dreamy Circus video last year? Well, he was there too and we’re all anxiously waiting to see what he’s cooked up! Stay tuned for that in a few weeks.

The clouds parted for a unusually warm and sunny day in February and these little kiddos were SO great in front of the camera. I sort of can’t get over them!

Beth Woolsey: Five Kids Is A Lot Of Kids-Hooray! It’s always a lift to see your gorgeous images! I just love these baby woodland creatures. Perfect subjects beautifully dressed and captured. Well done.

Judy -I know I am a little prejudiced as their great grandmother, but these are special, and I can’t wait to have a few copies to display!
Thanks for doing this.

Juli -Such gorgeous photos of the cutest kids in the world! So imaginative – I love your work!
